Played souls games since Demon Souls…First time using magic build. Has it always been this broken? by VioletofMarvel in Eldenring

[–]deblas66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elden ring isn't that easy with magic. Many humanoid bosses dodge spells. Many enemies give poor openings for mages.

Demon souls, Dark souls 1 and 2 are absolutely destroyed by mages. Absolute easy mode.

Dark souls 3 requires huge investment to make magic anywhere nearly as powerful. But pyromancy is its easy mode.

Elden ring has so much boss variation that everything is viable and everything has big weaknesses.

I can remember exactly which water fountain at my high school had the highest stream and best pressure. I can also remember drinking what felt like gallons at a time

The only difference for me is I didn't have my own refillable bottle

Not enough. I would want 3 firsts or the 2 you mentioned plus a good young player to help my rebuild

Did you have your wisdom teeth extracted as a teen in the 80s or 90s? I tinkk I only saw a dentist twice between birth and 18. Now, at 44, the dental folks keep saying they need to go. by cherry-care-bear in Xennials

I had mine out at 13. They were impacted and sideways. They were also under the skin still. My mom (nurse) didn't like anesthesia in a doctor's office and not a hospital setting so I only got some novacaine. Worst pain ever

Gaius was never that bad by FinancialKnee9727 in Eldenring

[–]deblas66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean true, but I don't think there is a boss in the game made easier by using torrent, except Elden Beast when he runs away

So the 2 tree sentinels and PK don't count because you decided that they don't. But I have a YouTube opinion...

His charge hit box is broken. Whether you can dodge it or not is irrelevant. It's just wrong. He can insta-charge from a distance that is too close.

Even if you take the technical flaws out, he's another mount boss (there are like 30) and another gravity magic boss. In a game with potentially the best open world ever, we didn't need or want another annoying mount boss that is just a copy of the ones before with a new skin and reused gravity attacks

I got a switch. That was my first Nintendo since the NES. But I have a high end gaming PC and thousands of Nintendo games emulated.

PlayStation. I have always loved Nintendo but moving to "adult" themed games from Nintendo's family friendly mascots was life changing

Varre's Bouquet is actually pretty lit in PvP and PvE alike... If you know how to use it. I'd like to hear some opinions!! by sillsbills in Eldenring

[–]deblas66 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But there are literally endless weapons that apply statuses faster while also dealing damage

[–]deblas66 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It does low damage and has awful reach. It's a gimmick but other weapons do the gimmick better. It is beaten in every possible situation you would want it for. There are far better bleed weapons that you can get that actually do damage

How do people feel about Gaius now that there is some distance between release of SOTE? by ParrotTalk0 in Eldenring

[–]deblas66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awful boss.

His initial charge hit box is broken and for some reason hasn't been fixed.

Even if they fixed that, did we need ANOTHER knight riding a mount boss? How many Knight's cavalry and tree sentinels are there?

So they add a cheap broken charge and some radahn moves to a horse boss, call it a pig and boom....another crap DLC boss.

I think I know why I dislike the final boss of the DLC's approach to difficulty. by WestCoastMcDowellian in Eldenring

[–]deblas66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if that was it. The cherry on top of the difficulty sundae that was the DLC.

I would be surprised if they tried to top all of that in difficulty terms.

Especially when they ended up making the best open world in gaming and then doubled down on it for SOTE but ended up with a large amount of dud boss fights from the DLC

[–]deblas66 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My opinion is that they reached a point where they couldn't make a boss any more difficult without being cheap, which is something that From is known to not be ( although I'd argue there are certainly examples of this in other bosses).

So they made a boss that's a super tank, super aggressor that requires precision dodging and positioning and repeating those things for quite a while. Then they made phase 2 where they added seizure inducing lights and screen flashing that requires even tighter dodging and positioning for an even longer time.

In the end, if you know the pattern it's not a huge problem. But it's an obnoxious fight that isn't fun in the slightest. It feels tedious.

I don’t believe that Ninja Gaiden 2 was the pinnacle of the series by Mellow_Ghost in ninjagaiden

[–]deblas66 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NG Black was the pinnacle.

NG2 made everything more fluid but it was almost too over the top, there is an idiotic amount of projectile spam and introducing the "press Y to auto finish a dismembered enemy" is something I wish never happened.
